Math Reflection In math this year we used a program called Connected Math 2. This is a different math program than we have used in previous years. Connected Math 2 is made up of eight units. Each one is organized around an important math idea or group of ideas alike. So far we have done six out of the eight books. We came up with strategies and explored concepts by solving problems and talking about solutions that the books do not include. We record our work and explain it in our notebooks which are arranged to help us put the investigations together so we can describe conclusions and recognize why the algorithms work. Each unit opens up with a set of three focusing questions that reflect the major math goals of the units. These questions help us a little bit of what the unit is going to be about and point out what we will investigate in the book.
The unit provides Math Highlights. You can use these as guidelines for your projects. In Primetime you’ll learn how to:
One of my favorite projects we did this year in math was My Special Number where we did research on a number and found facts about them. This was my favorite because I did it with my mom and I was the most creative with that one out of all my other math projects. This year we were given notebooks which have a class work section where everything we do in class goes into it. We have a homework section which we put our A.C.E. (Applications, Connections, Extensions) Homework. We have an assessment section where our graded assignments go. Also, we have a reference section which we put important papers. My favorite unit was Primetime. It was my favorite for many reasons. One of them is that it was the first one where we got into the program. Another one was it was pretty easy and it was short. It gave me extra help with factors and I learned about multiples more in depth than last year. This helped me with the NJ A.S.K because I learned more about them so they helped me understand answers as best as I can. Orion Dominguez
